Fans were split over whether Vegas' outburst was serious or for comedic effect.
Peter Kay was unable to pick up the award, but co-star Sian Gibson took to the stage instead.
The actress said of Kay's absence: "He's gutted he can't be here tonight but he sends his love, he'll be over the moon so we're going to go and phone him."
